Amazon to Ebay Profits

Hello, I have a quick question and I would appreciate anyone willing to help out a newb.

I have noticed several sellers on Ebay dropshipping from other retailers, like Amazon. However, on some of the larger volume sellers, I noticed that there profit margins were basically zero on all products.

I have read several post suggesting that these sellers are making there profits by purchasing with a rewards credit card. However, some of these sellers are doing six figure volume in sales a month. I can't imagine that they are using a CC for this much volume.

Can an anyone hint to me how these sellers may be creating the extra margin?

You don't know that. If you can get massive order flows and cash to back it up, you can drive down cost of your product to ridiculous levels in some items. For example, I know a massive seller who purchases factory overruns with cash and sells it online. His cost of each product is let's say $1.50 and the cost of factory producing it is $4. How does he do it? Because he can buy 50K units cash within 24 hrs and if the factory recycled that item, they'd get maybe 5 cents back. So if he's buying it at $1.50 and selling at $5, everyone else who's buying from the factory at $5 and selling at $8 is thinking that he's working on suicidal margins, but he's actually making more per item selling at $5 than you are at $8.

Forget dropshipping. Once your sales volume grows, you will face issues you never seen before:

- Return of products, where will you store them and how will you keep tack of what product belongs to which customer when all products are lying around in your room.
- Replacement after years of usage because of warranty, can you still prove to Amazon that you bought the product?
- Customers claiming they didn't receive the product even when you placed the order and there's no way for you to check that out.
- You receive many orders of the same product and suddenly it's sold out on amazon, what are you going to do?
- A lot of tax work on each and every sale which will be a huge headache and will lead to high tax-consultant fees.

Can you maybe be more specific in a PM. So far, no one has offered an actual answer or suggestion yet.

I just told you that big players may by buying their merchandise for way below what you can. How much more specific do you want me to get? And also if you're generating $15K a month in fees for eBay, and get to the point where you have your own dedicated account manager, I'm pretty sure you get more perks.

Been dropshipping for almost 2 years now Amazon to eBay

1. Why would you ever have the products in your possession? Anytime a return is needed, you send return label from Amazon to your customer. When Amazon refunds, you refund buyer.
2. It is against eBay policy to advertise manufacturer warranties as your own. So this is invalid.
3. In two years and $150k in sales I have only had 3 or 4 customers say they never received their item. I explained this to Amazon and was refunded every time. Refunded buyer. No reason to "check that out".
4. You refund the buyer and apologize. I've never received one negative feedback for being out of stock. If so-called dropshippers complain about this, they obviously should learn Customer Service.
5. Not a lot of tax work at all. Import all payments received in Paypal labeled "eBay" with a free service. Subtract all payments made to Amazon by importing to said service. Pay tax on the difference. No fees here.

Every time I answer these questions, it is clear the person posing the questions or asking have never tried the method before. They make blind assumptions based on their own opinion or reading other false informed posts/information.

Drop-shipping is lucrative and an easy way to make a living with hardly any effort or work required.
